Question
Rafiq exercised for $\frac{2}{3}$ hour, while Rohit exercise for $\frac{3}{4}$ hour. Who exercised for a longer time?
✓
Answer
To know who exercised for a longer time, we have to compare $\frac{2}{3}$ hour with $\frac{3}{4}$ hour
On cross multiplying:
4 × 2 = 8 and 3 × 3 = 9
Clearly, 8 < 9
$\therefore\frac{2}{3}$ hour < $\frac{3}{4}$ hour
Hence, Rohit exercised for a longer time.
